History HalfDressedCartoonAnimal / WesternAnimation

** Daffy Duck becomes one in episode "Peel of Fortune" when he claims that he wears "mall pants" at malls to show respect, but no "mall shirts" because malls don't deserve that much respect. When he accidentally loses the pants, he covers himself in embarrassment, even though he normally goes around naked all the time.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Jumanji}}'', when Peter transforms into an animal, his pants mysteriously disappear, but the only thing he keeps when he transforms into an animal is his orange shirt.

* Most of the cast of ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' are half-dressed.A notable exception is the episode where Edward goes around [[ComedicUnderwearExposure pantsing]] everyone, where suddenly everyone is wearing pants. The fact that Edward himself gets pantsed in the ending scene is spoiled by the fact that he himself wasn't wearing pants until that scene.

* The ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' episode "Adoptaclypse Now" had a brief scene where it's pointed out that most imaginary friends are nude... and then Mr. Herriman freaks out over not wearing pants. He proceeds to hop around in too-big pants for a good duration of the episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' Huey, Dewey, Louie, Donald, and Scrooge don’t wear any pants with their outfit. Webby wears a skirt with nothing underneath. Most ducks aren’t wearing shoes, but Scrooge wears spats and Lena wears sneakers.
